The picture of the X in the sky was taken from my home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida in the early ’90s. This in itself is not a great phenomenon, as it can happen when jet streams or drifting clouds cross each other’s path. I will explain why this was so powerful for me.
I should mention that the Lord revealed to me in the early ’80s that an X was His confirming signature. It has been true, at least for me, over the many years of ministry.
The Lord had been dealing with me very strongly, confirming that September 25 or 9/25 was a significant date that He would reveal or do something big for His people.
I had been inside my home’s master bedroom for some time and had no idea what the conditions outside were other than that it was still daytime.
I do not recall if I was fasting, but because the Lord had been dealing with me so strongly about this date, on 9/25 when, the thought went through my mind like a question.
“If this future date of 9/25 is a significant time of great importance, then let me walk outside and see an X in the sky.” with the ending of the thought, I walked from the bedroom to the front door.
Concerning the revelation of X being the Lord’s signature, He had used it on many occasions to confirm relevant things. I wasn’t fleecing or tempting the Lord by just looking outside.
I believed the Lord had given me the thought, and I am continually asking the Lord to order my steps and establish my thoughts.
Approximately 10 seconds passed. I opened the front door, and to my amazement, I saw a giant X in the sky as I stood in the doorway. I retrieved my camera and shot the photo you see above.
At the time, this was not something I could build a doctrine on, nor did I want to, but it demanded my attention to the extent that I realized that I should always be cognizant of this date or the surrounding season.
Another thing to consider is that 9/25 is not only on the Gregorian Calendar but also a very important date on the Hebrew calendar. Kislev is the 9th month of the Jewish civil calendar, and the 25th day of Kislev is the 1st day of Hanukkah.
Yes, there will be a rapture or catching away of the saints of God. It is even at the Door. This is the great hope of the Body of Christ and is completely established by the Word of God.
The scriptures provide a preponderance of evidence for this supernatural event. It is not to be confused with Jesus Christ’s literal second coming when He sets His feet on the Mount of Olives.
The Apostle Paul said, “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
The trumpet shall sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptibly, and we shall be changed. This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” I Corinthians 15:51-53
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” I Thessalonians 4:16-18
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” I Thessalonians 5:9-11
“Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from My God: and I will write upon him My new name.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 3:10-13
This is a personal timeline, and there are plausible future dates other than the ones I have used.
As I stated in 2012, as I had time, I would try to work out other possible and plausible timelines. I have also put all the Jewish holidays and dates up until 2030 on the website with a calculating tool for those who might want to look for a probable timeline.
The prophet Daniel had great wisdom and knowledge of all Jewish feast days and holidays. He also studied the prophet Jeremiah’s writings and received a visitation from the angel Gabriel.
These revelations allowed Daniel to accurately predict when the Messiah would present Himself to Israel as their long-awaited Messiah.
He also gave an exact count of days, possibly for the Rapture of the saints, “The Second Coming,” and the beginning of the Millennial Reign of Christ.
We have certainly received distressing signs and warnings that we are racing toward the end of the age. The celestial warnings in 2014 & 2015 have been unparalleled.
The prophetic events that came to pass in 2016,2017,2018,2019,2020 are staggering. Then, in 2021, there was the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left Americans behind, along with billions of dollars worth of military weapons for the terrorists.
Then, on February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, killing thousands of men and women on both sides. And then, on October 07, 2023, the terrorist organization Hamas, located in the Gaza Strip of Israel, savagely killed more than 1200 Jews. Both of these conflicts are active right now, in 2024.
The sorrows we have seen over the last ten years with wars and rumors of wars, Islamic terrorism, starvation, natural catastrophes from earthquakes and landslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, and financial woes globally are unprecedented in the 21st century.
The global uprisings against corrupt leadership and the displacement of more than 60 to 70 million people worldwide are unprecedented.
While it is thought that no scriptures have to be fulfilled for the Rapture of the Church to take place, it is interesting to note that the fourth Feast of the Lord, known as Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks, takes place fifty days after the first day of Passover.
This day commemorates the giving of the Law to Moses for the nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai (Leviticus 23:15-22).
Shavuot is also known to Christians as the day of Pentecost, which was the birth of the Church. On this day, the Holy Spirit fell upon the believers in the upper room like a mighty rushing wind, and they all began to speak in tongues.
Many have speculated for years that Pentecost would be a perfect fit for the catching away of the saints. I am not of that persuasion. I am more inclined toward the next unfulfilled Feast Day of Trumpets. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Regardless of when the Lord comes for His Bride, the body of Christ will never experience God’s wrath. As the Word of God teaches, the saints will be caught away.
While there is global persecution of the Christian faith and genocide of the saints of God by radical Islam and secular elites, this is nothing more than the working of Satan.
As the Word of God teaches, the saints will be caught away in these last days, and we have to put our faith in the infallibility of God’s promises.
“For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,” I Thess. 5:9
“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” Revelation 3:10
We are to encourage ourselves and others, knowing “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” I Thessalonians 4:16-17
“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; they are already white to harvest. John 4:35
“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out of the temple, crying loudly to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the earth’s harvest was ripe.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.” Revelation 14:14-16
“And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect sake whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days,” Mark 13:20
A monumental marker has already taken place in the United States of America with the ushering in of same-sex marriage. This was the most destructive groundwork humanity had ever experienced since the beginning of civilization. America is in open rebellion against God’s moral standard.
Because our unique nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and a code of ethics, we can not run it as if we were playing Monopoly.
First, as Christians and then as Americans, we have to be careful not to focus only on the art of the deal but also on the moral fabric of our society.
Please understand that tremendous spiritual warfare is taking place in the heavens for the soul of our nation.
Making our nation great again requires a strong economy, massive job growth, the rooting out of government corruption, and effective border security.
As long as we, as a nation, tolerate Gay Pride Parades and same-sex marriage, we will never regain God’s favor as a unique nation but will fall under the weight of our sin.
We are living in such perilous times, with a Christian genocide taking place throughout much of the world.
With Christians being killed for their faith every11 minutes, let us “Be sober, be vigilant; because of your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” I Peter 5:8
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36
The catastrophic earthquake I saw in San Francisco could take place as another harbinger to the people of America.
Without question, America was shaken by the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.
25 years after the first major harbinger came to the East Coast on 9/11/2001, the last major harbinger will strike the West Coast in the form of a massive earthquake on 9/11/2026.
I would consider 09-11-2026 to be a high watch time.
The year 2026 fits into the format I am now using, with 2580 days from the eve of The Feast of Trumpets until The Day of Atonement in 2033, but 2024 and 2025 do not.
Remember, there is a 60-day gap between the Church’s Rapture and the start of the tribulation. This revelation came to me as a word of knowledge/wisdom, counting from the day the Lord appeared to me on the 33rd day of a 40-day fast until the day He spoke, “Much Sorrow to Come,” on 8/29/2007.
Sadly, America is being destroyed from within and will probably not survive after the rapture. America’s hegemony is at risk even now as we are rapidly moving from a constitutional republic to a banana republic due to an authoritarian regime that is characterized by corruption.
Our enemies are watching the downfall of the greatest nation ever. Napoleon Bonaparte said, “Never interfere with an enemy while he is making a mistake.” That strategic word could easily mean, “Never interfere with an enemy while he is destroying himself.
America has thrown God out of the public square, out of the public schools, and has deemed God’s word as hate speech.
We should not be fighting a regional war in the most corrupt nation in Europe. Ukraine has no strategic value, not to mention the fact that we should be securing our borders rather than fighting over another nation’s borders overseas.
This 2nd earthquake will fulfill a two-part prophecy on the “Judgment” page. The Nappa Valley earthquake fulfilled the first part of the prophecy on August 24, 2014.
The prophecy was posted on 02/07/2012.
On this page, I would like to deal mainly with the Rapture of believers and why it behooves us to be aware of the end-time events that have already begun.
On May 1, 2023, the Lord quickened my mind, and I understood that the 4088 hours of intercessory prayer were also to represent 4088 days, just as the 2,584 hours were used to show me that the rapture would take place someday on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
Calculating from 12-24-2033, which falls on the last day of the Festival of Lights, also known as Hanukkah, and counting backward 4088 days brings us to 10-16-2022, which is Hoshana Rabbah, the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles.
Calculating from 12-24-2033 and counting forward 4088 days brings us to Purim on 03-03-2045.
Undoubtedly, the 4088 days highlight 3 important Jewish celebrations with a clear theme.
1. The Feast of Tabernacle – Water – John 7:37-39
2. The Festival of Lights – Light – Rededication of 2nd Temple
3. The Day of Purim – Miraculous Deliverance
These are the 10 intercessory prayer mandates I received from the Lord. The 3rd and 4th mandates are being used to calculate the possible soon-coming Rapture, the 60-day chaotic gap before the rise of the Antichrist, which will start counting the 2520 days of the tribulation period.
1. 12/19/2009 – 02/07/2010, Jerusalem 245 hours
2. 05/01/2010 – 05/21/2011, Jerusalem 1925 hours
3. 07/01/2011 – 09/25/2012, Jerusalem 2584 hours
4. 10/10/2012 – 09/25/2014, Jerusalem 4088 hours
5. 12/16/2014 – 09/13/2015, France-Jerusalem 1358 hours
6. 10/06/2015 – 12/07/2015, France-Jerusalem 315 hours
7. 04/22/2016 – 06/12/2016, France-Jerusalem 315 hours
8. 08/15/2016 – 12/30/2016, France-Jerusalem 800 hours
9. 03/01/2017 – 05/23/2017, USA-France 300 hours
10. 12/21/2019 – 12/30/2019, France 70 hours 70 hours
12/19/2009 -12/30/2019, Jerusalem, France, USA 12,000 hours
Reading the “Countdown” page under the Content Menu will help you understand how the pattern was formulated.
The Revelation of the above pattern of the seventieth week of Daniel was not given to me at one time but was given over seven months and could take even longer to unfold.
The beginning of this revelation began with a dream and its interpretation.
Then, an open vision placed me at the Western Wailing Wall in a time of great darkness and distress.
And finally, a personal encounter with a young Jewish, Torah-observant man on a train.
Please understand that this revelation is a personal revelation I received in Jerusalem as an intercessor, making up the hedge and standing in the gap for special prayer directives.
As I have stated in several other places on the website, the dates I have used in the future are only dates of interest.
We should always remember that any revelation of God can not be fully understood except through the Holy Spirit, as He wills to unfold hidden truths.
It can be the simplest truth before our eyes, but until He reveals it to our understanding, it remains a hidden truth. The book of Daniel exemplifies this truth.
It is important to remember that, according to Jewish reckoning, each day begins on the preceding evening, as recorded in Genesis 1:5.
“And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
That means each day starts on the evening of the preceding day, and all prophecy-related times are associated with Jerusalem time.
Jerusalem is the hourglass or timepiece of prophecy. The Hebrew calendar goes from sunset to sunset.
There is a strong delusion that is causing most Christians to believe that there is plenty of time for them to get their house in order.
This is not the case in my mind. I am saying, “Prepare and be prepared.” You do not realize how late the hour is.
We have only been given one day at a time.
“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.” II Peter 3:11
“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armour of light.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, chambering and wantonness, strife and envying.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lust thereof. “ Romans 13:11-14
The belief in America and Western cultures is that the” Church of God,” or, more correctly, “The Body of Christ,” does not have to suffer any of the end-time persecution.
Unfortunately, clear evidence of such a position is not written anywhere in the Bible.
Nevertheless, the Apostle Paul did say that the Church was not appointed to wrath, and we can be assured that the Church, as the body of Christ, will never see God’s wrath.
This period will be a time of unimaginable terror and devastation of life.
There will also be within this period of five months, some people will desire death, but death will flee that very desire. I Thessalonians 5:9 Revelation 9:6- 10
Jesus also said that He would keep us from that hour of temptation that would come upon the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelations 3:3
However, Christ’s promise to keep His Church from that hour that would try all men does not mean that God will rapture His people before the house is foreclosed or before a spouse or a child is lost in an accident.
He did not promise to rapture the Church before the next earthquake, tornado, or other natural disaster.
He did not promise that He would rapture the Church before the next terrorist attack would take place.
He did not say that His people would be caught away before the next war broke out. He did, however, promise that if they persecuted Him, they would persecute you. John 15:20
In contrast to this belief that the Christian life is a Holiday and just a walk down a Primrose lane, Jesus warned the church at Laodicea that He was nauseous with their lukewarm lifestyle and their spiritual blindness. Revelation 3:16
While the Laodiceans thought they were rich, increased with goods, and needed nothing, Jesus’ analogy of their condition differed greatly.
Christ said the church at Laodicea was wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. Revelation 3:17
Christ described their nauseating lifestyle as people who wanted to live on both sides of the fence. They were guilty of having religion without sincere faith.
They lived in a wealthy society and were self-sufficient. This very situation of self-sufficiency caused them to go to sleep spiritually, not comprehending their spiritual needs.
Listen to Christ’s suggestion to the Laodiceans,
“I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness does not appear; and anoint thine eye with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous, therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:18-19
These are not my words, but Christ’s analogy to His disciples about the conditions that would be prevalent before His return during the Second Advent.
Christ even questioned whether He could find faith on earth at His Second Coming. Luke 18:8
This comatose condition of spiritual living is obscuring the average Christian’s common sense to the fact that we are in the closing chapters of this present age.
The Bible is very clear that it will be as it was in the days of Noah and Lot.
“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37-39
“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they builded;
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 17:28-30
Jesus warned about the signs that would be prevalent just before He returned to earth during the Second Advent to put down all rebellion and set up His glorious kingdom.
The prophetic events that came to pass in 2016,2017,2018,2019,2020 are staggering. Then, in 2021, there was the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left Americans behind, along with billions of dollars worth of military weapons for the terrorists. Then, on February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, killing thousands of men and women on both sides. And then, on October 07, 2023, the terrorist organization Hamas, located in the Gaza Strip of Israel, savagely killed more than 1200 Jews. Both of these conflicts are active right now, in 2024.
The astronomical signs are making a clarion call to the people of the earth that the end of the age is rapidly approaching.
There is nowhere to go to avoid this time of distress that is coming, but there is something you can do to assure yourself about your eternal state of being.
You can accept Christ’s sacrifice, repent of your sins, and spend time with your Savior and the Word of God. Live one day at a time. Make an appointment with God every day, and don’t miss it.
Our age is very demanding of our time, and only through discipline can we block out sections of time to spend with the Master.
Listen, sorrow, and suffering are woven throughout the Old and New Testaments.
In America, the greatest nation that has ever existed, we have not had to suffer so much for the gospel’s sake.
Nevertheless, in many parts of the world, Christians are killed every day because of their witness to Christ.
There is no doubt that we, as Americans, have been blessed above measure as no other nation has been blessed in the history of the world.
Do American Christians think that there are no Christians in Syria that suffer? Some even die for their faith! Do we think there are no Christians in Egypt that are suffering? Are there no Christians in North Korea or Iran?
Again, take time to think! The scholars say that Bble does not mention America once.
Is it possible to imagine that God would not make mention of the greatest nation that has ever existed since the world began?
How foolish would a Christian have to be, or how shrouded could one’s understanding be?
Everything that has ever been, or will ever be, is spoken about in some form in the Bible.
The Book of Isaiah and other prophets describe America as Babylon the Great as clearly as any historian could.
The Apostle John tells us in Revelation 14 what shall be the end of this great nation.
I will cover this topic about Babylon the Great under the tab “AS Grass.” I warn all, the time is short, and there is Much Sorrow to Come:
Much debate has been sparked over the possibility of a Third Temple being built so that the Jewish people could institute animal sacrifices once again on the Temple Mount.
The start of the last seven years, better known as Daniel’s seventieth year, will certainly occur on a future date after the Bride of Christ is caught away.
Because the Old Testament devotes extensive time and detail to the construction of the Tabernacle in the wilderness and the Temples built by Solomon and King Herod, it may be interesting to cover some of this information on another page.
The Temple that you and I should be more concerned about in this dispensation is the one God dwells in now.
Here we find Jesus in Jerusalem for the Passover and on entering the temple:
“And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
And when He had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
And He said unto them that sold doves, Take these hence; make not My Father’s house a house of merchandise. John 2:13-16
“And His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Then answered the Jews and said unto Him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days, I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But He spake of His body.
When, therefore, He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this unto them, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had said. John 2:17-22
Listen to what the Prophet Isaiah says, “And He shall be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the house of Israel, for a gin and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Isaiah 8:14
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Isaiah 28:16
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Wherefore it is also contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded.
Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;” I Peter 2:2-11
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” I Corinthians 3:16-17
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your mind. Hebrews 12:1-3
To reiterate the truth, the Lord will rapture His people at the appointed time and before the wrath of God is poured out.
He will hide His bride that He has entered into the covenant with because She has not been appointed to wrath, but to obtain salvation according to I Thessalonians5:9
“Because thou hast the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” Rev. 3:10.
“For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock.” Ps. 27:5
“Thou shall hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of the man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.” Ps. 31:20.
“Hide me from the secret council of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity.” Ps. 64:2.
“Come my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isa. 26:20-21
So, there is an appointed time that the Lord will hide His people away from the worst time of tribulations that mankind has ever experienced.
That time is called the day of hiding or the day of concealment, which is also known as Rosh Hashanah.
For the last four decades, I have heard most Christian denominations declare, “The Lord’s return is imminent, and Jesus Christ could return for His followers at any moment.”
While that may sell a lot of books and perhaps scare a few folks into getting their earthly lifestyle to align with the Bible’s moral standards.
Realistically, for many decades, in developed nations, it seems more fish are jumping out of the boat than into Jesus’s arms.
I am seeing more ministries than ever acknowledging that the Christian genocide that is taking place and the amount of suffering transpiring in our world today could mean that there may not be a completely painless future before Christ takes His Bride.
While it is true that we, as believers, could see Jesus any second through death, a personal visitation, a dream, or a vision, the truth of the matter is that the Church as a body will not see Jesus until the Rapture takes place.
The Lord already has an exact date for when He will return for His people; it is a fixed appointment. It will be in the fullness of God’s time.
He has left for a short while and will return at the appointed time. God’s determinate counsel and foreknowledge before the earth was created already determined a day, which is a set appointment.
God set an appointment for the Jewish people to meet with Him, published in His Word, and declared it in the heavens so His people would not be late for the meeting.
Why would any logical person make an appointment to meet a group of people with whom they had an intimate relationship and not give them the appointment time to meet?
If we, being logical creatures, would never do that, why would we expect the Creator to do something so foolish?
We know Christ will return to save the Jewish people during the Second Advent.
We know that He has given them the exact dates of the appointments in Leviticus 23.
We also know Jesus will take His Bride before the last seven years of this age. These years have been appointed to the Jewish people.
To the Jews, Jesus gave the sign of Jonah, but to the Christians, He gave an astounding list of signs that would appear when He was at the door and that our redemption had drawn nigh.
Why is the body of Christ so unaware that Christ is at the door and that our redemption has drawn nigh?
There are many reasons, but just a few major ones are that the god of this world has blinded the minds of the whole world. Also, especially in these last days, a great delusion has been sent that is obscuring the clear signs that the Second Coming of Christ and the preceding Rapture are closer than most are prepared for.
Then there are the simple cares of life that keep people’s minds earthbound, as if life will continue for centuries as if the end times could never occur in their lifetime.
There may not be signs of the exact date of the Rapture, but there are many signs of the Second Coming.
For the Jews, everything that God has purposed for humanity has at its core “The Seven Feasts of the Lord,” which are listed in Leviticus chapter 23.
The appointment times for each feast are also listed. These are appointment times or dates to meet His people never change on the Hebrew calendar.
Christ fulfilled the first three feast days of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits at the exact appointment date.
The Holy Spirit fulfilled the fourth feast day, known as the “Feast of Weeks” or Shavuot, also known as Pentecost, 50 days later at the appointed time.
Christ Himself could fulfill the next feast, which is Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets at the rapture of the Church.
Rosh Hashanah begins on the first day of the seventh month and is considered the head of the year on the agricultural or civil calendar.
Some other names and idioms are associated with the feast of Rosh Hashanah, some of which are:
The Feast of Trumpets
The Day of Blowing of Trumpets
The Day of the Awakening Blast
The Hidden Day or the Day of Concealment, or the New Moon
The Day of the Opening of the Gates/the Opening of Books/Day of Judgment
The Day of the Last Trump
The Day that “no man knows the day nor hour”/”as a thief in the night.”
The Day of the Coronation of the King
The Wedding of Messiah
In Jewish thought, 2000 years ago, these titles were very well known, even among Christians who had studied Jewish roots.
The Feast of the Lord teaches that the Lord will fulfill the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah with the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the catching away of the living saints.
The prophet Isaiah said, “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:19-21
The Feast of Trumpets is the only one of the seven feasts associated with the new moon. The Psalmist said, “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the appointed time, on our solemn feast day.
The 3 main Jewish themes of the Feast of Trumpets are:
1. The resurrection of the righteous;
“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ and shall reign a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6.
2. The Coronation of the King;
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, He doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; He had a name written that no man knew but Himself.
And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called the Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron:
and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
A He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.” Revelation 19: 11-16
3. The Marriage of the King;
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb comes, and His wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And He saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And He saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Revelation 19:7-9
An interesting correlation exists between Rosh Hashanah, the fifth feast, the Rapture of believers in Christ, and the Wedding of the Messiah.
The Seven Feasts of the Lord listed in Leviticus 23 of the Torah are the centerpiece of God’s purpose for mankind.
The God of Israel is the first, second, and third member of the Godhead, the Council of God.
We now know them as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
So Godhead, in His infinite wisdom and foreknowledge, set forth a plan to not only create mankind in their image but to redeem them from the curse brought about when Satan usurped the authority from the first Adam’s rebellion in the Garden of Eden.
To reiterate the seven feasts of the Lord that are listed in Leviticus 23, they are:
The Feast of Pesach or Passover
The Feast of Unleavened Bread
The Feast of First Fruits
The Feast of Shavuot or Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost.
The Feast of Rosh Hashanah or Trumpets
The Feast of Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement
The Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles
The Feasts of the Lord are not just listed as times of merrymaking with plenty of food to eat, as it may sound. The Hebrew word for feasts is “moadim,” which means appointments.
These are not appointments made between people but fixed divine appointments between God and His people. These were holy convocations.
Christ fulfilled the first three divine appointments exactly at the appointed time. The Holy Spirit met the fourth divine appointment on Shavuot or Pentecost.
Christ Himself will fulfill the next appointment on Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets, as foretold by the Apostle Paul in his first letter to the Thessalonians.
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” I Thessalonians 4:16-18
The Rapture of believers, as well as the resurrection of the righteous dead in Christ, could be better understood as the abduction of the bride in the ancient wedding ceremony.
The Rapture, The Feast of Trumpets, and the wedding of the Messiah in simple form:
Step one: There was the selection of the Bride
Step two: The Bride’s price to be paid
Step three: The Bride and Groom betrothed
Step four: The written document or the Ketubah
Step five: The Bride’s consent
Step six: The gifts and cup are given to the Bride
Step seven: The cleansing of the Bride – Mikvah
Step eight: The preparation of the Bridal Chamber
Step nine: The Bride is set apart
Step ten: The Bridegroom returns
Step eleven: The Abduction of the Bride
Step Twelve: The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
I have alluded to the ancient Hebrew wedding ceremony and its comparison to the Rapture of the Church.
Interestingly, some commentators state that when the bride has been chosen, the marriage has already been arranged, with the wedding contract (ketubah) and the bride’s price agreed on.
The two have committed themselves to being faithful to each other and would not consummate the marriage at that time. They could wait an additional 12 months or, in some cases, even longer if the man had not raised the bride’s price yet.
This would give the man adequate time to return to his father’s house, prepare quarters for his new bride, and raise the money to pay the agreed-upon price for his wife.
It would be a time for the bride to learn the role of a wife and adjust to this new lifestyle of giving her allegiance to her husband rather than her father.
2026 is a plausible date that could fulfill God’s plan for the redemption of His people and the catching away of the saints.
As I stated on the website in 2012 and reiterated in several different places, all future dates were only dates of interest, and there were plausible future dates.
Two very factual statements are that Jesus is coming soon and America will be judged for its opposition to God’s rule. The Divided States of America has thrown God out of the Public Square, out of the Public Schools, and turned God’s Holy Word into hate speech.
There is nothing that has to be fulfilled for Christ to come back for His Bride. The Rapture will take place at the appointed time.
One thing is very evident: we are living in perilous times.
Christ’s return for His Church remains the hope of every Christian, while Christ’s Second Coming is the only hope for the world. Be Prepared as Jesus is coming!
While it is believed that the Rapture could occur at any time, I believe that Rosh Hashanah 2026 will be a very high watch time.
Rosh Hashanah will begin sometime after sunset in Jerusalem on 9-11/12-2026, Jerusalem time.
If you are a Christian in America, you should be very aware that the Divided States of America are in a death spiral and will soon face catastrophic calamities that will weaken the nation.
Jesus said, “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand” Mark 3:24
Nevertheless, Jesus still promises that those who believe will never see death but will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye.
The rapture will accompany a global earthquake, which is not foreign to scripture.
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14
While I could be part of that great cloud of witnesses before the Rapture, I can assure you that the Rapture of the Church and the resurrection of those saints who were believers is at hand.
“God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.” Psalm 7:11.
It is astonishing how far America has fallen since 1980. Originally founded by men who believed in the principles and ethics of the God of the Bible, it has now become a nation of every foul spirit, a society of self-indulgence and abominable activity.
If you are a Christian in America and you can not see the writing Handwriting on the Wall. You need to check your spiritual pulse.
This kind of perversion is also happening in Israel. The LGBTQIA+ community has even affected the Torah-observant Jews.
Where you will not see this kind of perversion openly displayed is in Islam !! Most radical Islam views America as the Big Satan and Israel as the Little Satan.
When the final judgment comes to America, it will be swift and complete. Nevertheless, some severe harbingers could still occur in America before its end.
For many years, we have allowed Hollywood to send our
pornographic filth and ungodly behavior to the nations of this world.
Nevertheless, God’s mercy is great, and He is ready to forgive if people repent and turn from their wicked ways.
The final judgment of our once-great nation will embolden Islam to go after the nation of Israel.
No nation will be coming to their aid other than Jesus Christ.
The worldwide population of Islam hovering at about 2 billion and the Jewish population worldwide at around 15.2 million does not make for a good scenario.
The Islamic nations that surround Israel will think it would be impossible for them to lose against such a small nation.
God Almighty is waiting until the fullness of His time. Then He will pull the Trigger, and who can stop Him?
While I may already be part of that great cloud of witnesses before this happens, I can assure every Christian that God will fulfill His holy purpose on this earth.
We should be alert because of the signs of our times: the unholy alliance of three strange bedfellows, Turkey, Iran, and Russia, coupled with the global explosion of immorality.
” And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Romans 13:11
“Lest coming suddenly, he finds you sleeping.
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.” Mark 13:36-37
I can see the Resurrection, the Rapture, A catastrophic global earthquake, and severe judgment on America (a High Tree), all occurring on the same day.
From the start of the tribulations to the Second Advent, there will be days of great tribulations like the world has never seen. Just some food for thought!!
As Christians, we all should always be about our Father’s business concerning the Great Commission and the things that are our reasonable service.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” 1 Peter 5:7-9
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20
Times and dates can be off, but the orbit of the sun and the moon are never off because they have been put into motion by the creator.
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.” Genesis 1:14
“And God made two great lights; the greater to rule by day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” Genesis 1:16
Everything in the galaxies is in motion and has a purpose. God has set their course, and together, they are writing a story about the Good News.
“The heaven declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handiwork.
Day unto day uthereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.” Psalm 19:1-3
No scripture or scriptures specify how much time, if any, transpires between the rapture and the start of the seventieth week of Daniel.
Daniel’s seventieth week has an exact count of 2520 days.
